Can't open any project [SWT Exeption]

[mkonstantinow]

Hello!

I am using Katalon Studio for two years for testing frontend of my web aplication. I have made many test cases and everything been great since last week when I saw that I can not open any project.

I am running Katalon Studio as always, as administrator, an then I open project. But now when I try to do it i have an error message:

in Details:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space)

Please help me handle this. My entire two-year work is now ruined

@mkonstantinow,

You can open katalon.ini file under Katalon Studio application folder, update the value:

-Xmx2048m to -Xmx4096m

Then save the file and reopen Katalon Studio again.

Thank you @duyluong that was the solution! You are the best!

PS.
Will it be a big bother if I ask you to explain where this problem came from and why this solution is helpful?
I’m just curious.

-XmxNNNNm Sets the size of the memory heap where m means MegaBytes.

Those args allow the maximum heap size to grow to 2048 MB and 4096MB, respectively. So @duyluong is suggesting you double the current value to 4096MB (4GB).
